Chapter 21

Buffy with her sisters in toe entered the airport terminal. Dawn and Eve were leaving to go to school in England. The small family they had formed is being parted; they all enjoyed a good summer with laughs and fun until the sisters had to go to school. Spike and Buffy took much pleasure in being together and they love like it was going to all ends tomorrow.

"Buffy take care and be sure to give Spike a big hug for me." Dawn says with tears in her eyes. She had never been so far from Buffy not even when Buffy moved here.

"I love you Buffy. Don't worry we are going to be fine and I promise to do well in school." Eve tells Buffy as they leave to get on the plane.

"Bye, Bye girls I love you. Be good. Bye" Buffy calls to girls until they both are out of sight. She turns to leave when she see a women looking at her with hate in her eyes. The woman turns and leaves with her hair flying in the air. Buffy gets to her car and starts back to the house. She is half way home when she notices a car that seems to be following her.

Buffy picks up the phone in her car, calling out the number that needed to be dialed. "Home" The phone rings in the house. "Hello"

"Spike, I am on my way home. I think I 'm being followed so can you have someone meet me at the gate when I arrive?" Buffy drives changing lanes to exit the freeway. The car follows her movements. Buffy pulls on to a long stretch of a two-lane street. When she looks back in her rearview mirror she sees the same car as early. The car was catching up fast to her and before she know it; it was besides her pushing her off on to the side of the road. She came to a complete stop after spinning out. Getting out of her car she notices a lady with flowing black hair out of her car looking at Buffy. The lady got back in her car and speeded away, leaving Buffy shaking and crying.

Buffy pulls in to the driveway of the house. "Buffy what happen to the car? Are you all right?" Spike asks as he rushes to her side. "That car that was following me ran me off the road. She had the nerve to pull in front of me and get out laughing at what had happen."

"What did the person look like?" Spike asks as he helps Buffy into the house.

Buffy tells Spike about the girl who stepped out of the car. Spike's face tenses and his jaw clench. Spike tells that her mystery girl sound like Dru. He holds her until she stops shaking.

Spike says to no one but himself, (Dru stepped over the line this time. Coming after Buffy is too much.)
